Buy me a cup of coffee
A ridiculous amount of coffee was consumed in the process of building this project. Add some fuel if you'd like to keep me going!
Thank you Andy , for a different view on Yoke. I will have to try this way when I'm up in the Lakes next year. I like the idea of quiet walks taking time to look around at the views? Keep up the good work.
Fabulous photos, Andy. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant blog Andy and I love your photos ! Feel proud to be in one ! Thanks again and keep up the brilliant blogs !
Excellent photography and a very informative blog. Thank you for taking the time to write it.

Thank you Andy your photos give me the opportunity to see the fells and the views from the places I would love to see but am not able. I cant wait for the book!!!!
Thanks so much , Andy ! Will watch for the new site.
Love your photographs which thoroughly deserved success in the competition. I'm sorry to read that your Mum passed away and you will need time to get back on track. We can all wait a little longer for Wainwrights in Colour.
Well done, Andy. A great photo which makes me want to get back to the fells.
Love these photos, Andy. Your pictures are always lovely.
Glad you've got settled back into things Andy 🙂
Sometimes, an unwanted/unexpected change can be a change for the better. Good luck in your new home and business premises.
Looking forward to receiving my pre-paid copy of the book. The time scale seems to ever extending but I'm sure it will be worth it.
My name is David Bradwell and on March 7thI ordered and paid for this publication, I also paid for postage and packing.
I haven't received anything up to now and I was wondering if there is a problem?
Proud of you Mr.B.
Love your complete dedication to every single aspect of your amazing 10 year project.
Can't wait to come see another of your fascinating talks which are truly informative, full of captivating interest and of course your cheeky humour too.
That was a great account! Thanks.
Fantastic news! I told you it's a winner and now everyone will know. Very well deserved Andy & Esther.
So very proud of what you have achieved Andy and I admire your dedication and passion to the wainwright's in colour project. The end result is a stunning beautiful book, a must have for lovers of Lakeland and art.
A much deserved win.
I was so overjoyed when I heard the news. I knew it would come in first place as there is no other book out there like it. This is a masterpiece.
Other books on Wainwright may be published in the future, but nothing will come close to this as a work of art, love and dedication.
Enjoy this fabulous moment Andy and Esther.
Pingback:I Won- book of the Year | (Edit)
Congratulations Andy. We knew this project was something special from when we stumbled across it at Rheged. We had no idea how epic it would become for you, and are glad you a) had no idea either, and b) have the tenacity and family support to enable you to bring it to fulfillment. The awards and plaudits are fully deserved, and your determination to do this using local bookshops and mail order continues and honours the Wainwright legacy.
Many congratulations Andy, I have followed your glittering career for some time and, quite frankly, I am not surprised that you are the recipient of such a prestigious award. Your dedication to the task over such a long period of time is a testament to your strength of character. As a completely unbiased observer, it would appear to me to be a result of your fine NornIron upbringing and the discipline of serving with the 'Regiment' … I promised myself that I would not make any reference to Gibraltar ..! Anyway, I am led to believe that Santa has a copy of your book that may be delivered, via a not-too-hot chimney, to this address … The lovely lady from the Hedgehog bookshop in Penrith was so enthusiastic about you and the book that she would certainly be a wonderful PR person for you ..! I am sure that you are inundated with messages of congratulations for your magnificent achievement.
Congratulations Andy
I'll say it again, 'It's a winner!' Good luck in the BBC Countryfile Awards!
Congratulations on being shortlisted Andy and good luck as it certainly deserves to be the winner.
Congratultaions my good friend. You did it again. Another cracking win. You owe it to yourself not to be sober for even a second this weekend.
Fantastic news and well deserved! Congratulations.
Best wishes for all your forthcoming adventures. Keep us all informed and we will be looking forward to the next Andy Beck production!
Looking forward to your Teesdale venture
Thanks for the detailed report from your trip to Blenheim Palace.
Hot off the heels of the Keswick Mountain Festival, it looks like it was yet another very successful event for you.
A year on, the book is still going from strength to strength. Congratulations Andy.
Great to hear that you met your targets Andy but sorry that the Countryfile team did not make more of your presence there. Really enjoyed your spots on Look North with Paul Mooney, and thought that you came across very well, eloquent and so knowledgeable. I was gutted to have missed you at the Hedgehog bookshop in Penrith where I bought my copy of The Wainwrights in Colour.
Placed my vote 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts Andy and I'm equally as proud to now own a copy of your wonderful book. Thank you.
Hi Andy, this is a theme I hear from professional and amateur photographers alike, that I am acquainted with.
There maybe a few burgeoning charities and good causes out there are are truly strapped for funds with which to run the organisation, but to get a contact from an example that has a significant budget for marketing, and be told they don't pay for content, is downright immoral!!!!!
Naming no names, I am aware of one charity that does worthy work for some of the disadvantaged in society, that itself was becoming close to going under due to a lack of funds. It turns out that the directors of the charity had still awarded themselves a handsome increase in remuneration, despite the situation they were in. There are more rotten "apples" out there in trusted positions, than there should be, who have no problem with preying on the "creatives"!
Always a pleasure to hear from time to time,of your latest project and work.
I understand and agree with your reasons. Even as an amateur, I had a request a few years ago from a rep for Michellin I Spy Books. They were bringing out some new books after a gap, they wanted some of the Lake District, and I was asked could they have some. I decided as it was a commercial request to ask about payment . We agreed £ 10 per image. I then had to put twenty images on cd and post it off. I received a couple of free books when they came out……..no payment. So i sent an invoice for £200 . And a reminder. I was contacted then, is it ok if they only pay for the ten they used, not the twenty they asked for!? Better than nowt so agreed and eventually received the 100 . Many other Flickr people supplied free. Why? Not my job, but time and effort. So dont ask, dont get. Quite agree with your situation
An inspirational video to get out there and enjoy the fells.
Some wonderful photos of the majestic scenery!
Do I answer the quiz questions in here???
Don't think so. Rules above say "Do not submit entries until the final question has been posted when details of how to submit your entry will be published."
How much for the book? Including postage please
Thanks for the "heads up" Andy, will certainly take a look. Hope you and yours are managing to keep safe and that your Art is flowing as always :-).

Why Choose Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Over VMware or Microsoft?
Why would anyone use Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) instead of VMware's or Microsoft's virtualization technologies?Sure, it's a lot less expensive, but is there a technological reason to choose the Linux leader over the virtualization kingpins? Navin Thadani thinks so and explains why.
Talk to Navin Thadani, Red Hat's senior director, virtualization, and he'll tell you that RHEV's attractions are that it offers high-performance server virtualization, it's scalable, and it's very secure. And, perhaps most importantly, it offers "solid economics for customers." What does that mean? It's less expensive than Hyper-V and VMware, in other words.
Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) doesn't seem to sell RHEV based on the features it offers, and that's probably because it lacks a few key ones. Despite Thadani promising as long ago as February 2010 that "you will be able to do an apples-for-apples feature comparison between us and VMware," RHEV is still quite a few pieces of fruit short of a full picnic basket vis a vis VMware.
One example is its ability to carry out the live migration of virtual machine disk files across storage arrays -- the feature VMware (NYSE: VMW) calls Storage vMotion. A RHEV equivalent has been on Red Hat's road map since the launch of RHEV, but its arrival still doesn't appear to be imminent. "We still lack storage live migration, but it's still in the plan," confirmed Thadani. Will it be included in RHEV 3.0, which is due to go into beta shortly? "I don't want to comment on if it is in or out," he said. Doesn't sound promising, you have to say.
Anther feature that have been promised but still hasn't arrived is an equivalent to VMware's consolidated backup (VCB). "We did extensive market research on the topic and found VCB is almost never used by enterprises the way VMware intended them to," Thadani explained. "Right now you can do in-guest backups, and moving forward we will add a virtualization-specific backup solution." Don't hold your breath.
Red Hat also lacks a simple GUI-driven way to carry out so-called P2V, V2P and V2V conversions from its RHEV-M management system. It doesn't plan to introduce one in the near future, but Thadani pointed out a third-party tool from Acronis that can carry out these tasks. "The need to integrate this into the management system is not high," he maintained.
Another feature currently missing is the ability to hot-add CPUs or memory to servers.
Looking around the market, it is clear that RHEV's market penetration is not high -- and it's hard not to draw the conclusion that the lack of some of these features is at least partially to blame. But Thadani claims there has been a good deal of customer uptake with high-profile customers, including Qualcomm, BNP Paribas and Dreamworks.
What's the attraction? In the developed markets of North America and Europe, Thadani said that although VMware has made big inroads, it has tended to be in enterprises wanting to virtualize their non-mission-critical Windows servers. "Now the CIO's office realizes the value in virtualization, they are looking at the Linux side of the business, and they see some super alternatives to VMware, like RHEV. They trust Red Hat, as we saved them millions of dollars when they moved from UNIX to Linux."
In the Asia-Pacific region the motivation for going with Red Hat is altogether different. "These are more green field deployments," Thadani says. "There's usually a mix of Windows and Linux workloads, and when these companies look at the alternatives, they say that the value of RHEV is fantastic, and they trust our brand." In other words, once again, RHEV is cheap: cheaper than Hyper-V, and certainly cheaper than VMware.
It's easy to forget that RHEV has been around for only 18 months or so, but it's clear that Red Hat has got a great deal more work to do to convince large numbers of potential customers to choose it over VMware or Hyper-V.
A recently announced plan to collaborate with IBM on Red Hat's RHEV-Manager product provides a clue as to how the company may be planning to proceed. "We want our API to do more, we want to add functionality to RHEV-M, and we want to integrate with some of IBM's products like (Systems) Director for hardware monitoring and Tivoli for lifecycle management, images and provisioning," Thadani said.
That sounds like what's in the making is something akin to Microsoft's System Center and its Virtual Machine Manager module: an IBM based system for managing your assets -- both physical and those virtualized using RHEV.
The conclusion has got to be this: When it comes to virtualization, no one ever got fired for choosing VMware. But Red Hat is hoping that no one will ever get fired for choosing a company that partners with IBM either.

During the [[Third Shinobi World War]],<ref name="d4"/> he defeated an unknown [[Hyūga]], taking one of the clan member's [[Byakugan]] and implanting it into his own right eye socket. Later, he had a confrontation with [[Shisui Uchiha]], which left enough of an impact on Ao for him to clearly remember Shisui's abilities and his chakra colour long after the event.<ref>Chapter 459, page 14</ref> In the anime, shortly after [[Yagura]]'s passing and [[Mei Terumī]] was made the Fifth, Ao was present when the village received an invitation from [[Konohagakure]] and [[Sunagakure]] to join an impromptu [[Chūnin Exams]] they would be hosting together. Ao noted that as the village was still recovering from Fourth's passing and thus shouldn't waste time on an event seemingly designed to promote [[Gaara]] as the new [[Kazekage]]. After Mei threatened Ao's life after misinterpreting his words as an insult to her marital status, it was ultimately decided the Kiri-nin would not take part in this event.<ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 394</ref> == Personality == Ao was calm, prideful, stern and was the epitome of a stereotypical masculine individual. He believed that men should be tough and decisive, constantly scolding [[Chōjūrō]] for his pessimistic and weak demeanour. This attitude seemed to be caused by his upbringing during the times when Kirigakure was known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist". He had a tendency of bringing up how things were done during those days, usually while fussing over Chōjūrō's behaviour. Despite his fussing, Ao did seem to have some type of friendship with Chōjūrō as he offered to treat him to a meal for luck in the upcoming war. == Appearance == [[File:UNSG Ao.png|thumb|left|Ao's full appearance.]] He was a middle aged man with blue hair which is styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye was blue and his right eye was covered with an eye-patch, under which he concealed the Byakugan that he obtained from a Hyūga clan member he defeated. He wore a talisman in each ear with the kanji for {{translation|a humble form of "to hear"|承|shō, uketamawa(ru)}} written on them twice on each side. These talismans reacted when his Byakugan is under threat and will protect it from anyone, even himself. He also wore the standard striped, grey suit, with a green haori that had white trimmings that stop halfway down, over them. With the outbreak of the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], he donned the standard outfit of the shinobi alliance with a Kirigakure [[flak jacket]] over it. He still kept his protective earrings with him. {{-L}} == Abilities == As a veteran of Kirigakure's [[hunter-nin]], Ao was a highly capable tracker and has extensive knowledge of the human body. He seemed to possess a great deal of speed and agility, being able to grab a [[kama]] thrown at him just moments before it slashed his neck, in turn throwing the weapon and hitting [[Mind Puppet Switch Cursed Seal Technique|the assailant]], who had moved to assault him from the back, all in quick sucession. He was also clearly a very skilled combatant, as he was capable of defeating a member of the Hyūga clan and surviving a fight with Shisui Uchiha, a feared shinobi who was regarded as a genius even amongst the Uchiha. === Sensory Perception === He was also a highly skilled [[sensor]] shinobi, a testament to which is that during the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]] he was appointed as the Captain of the [[Sensor Division]] of the [[Allied Shinobi Forces]]. With his sensory skills he could even pick out the [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]] shinobi out of thousands of [[White Zetsu Army|White Zetsu clones]], a feat that his counterparts could not perform.<ref name="C525">Chapter 525, pages 6-7</ref> Along with [[Inoichi]], he was able to erect an immense [[Sensing Barrier]], which allowed him to monitor the battle between the Allied Shinobi Forces and the White Zetsu Army. Ao counts among the few sensors that have shown the ability to sense [[natural energy]].<ref>Chapter 613, page 3</ref> === Byakugan === {{ImgRight|Ao's byakugan activated.png|Ao activates the Byakugan hidden beneath his eye-patch.}} At some point in the past, Ao took a [[Byakugan]] from a defeated member of the Hyūga clan and transplanted it into his right eye socket. His skill with it was notable, as he said that his eye saw through the [[genjutsu|illusion]] placed on the [[Fourth Mizukage]]. With it he was able to detect that the eye in Danzō's right eye socket as well as his right arm had the colour of [[Shisui Uchiha]]'s chakra.<ref>Chapter 459, pages 14-15</ref> It is also notable that unlike a transplanted [[Sharingan]], the Byakugan could be activated at will, rather than being in a constant release stage.<ref>Chapter 459, page 3</ref> The Byakugan was protected by the talisman seals that Ao wears as earrings, and would cover the eye if anyone tries to take or attack it. The seal could not be deactivated by anyone (not even the Mizukage) except Ao himself or other hunter-nin.<ref>Chapter 471, page 6</ref> == Part II == === Five Kage Summit === Ao sets off with [[Chōjūrō]] to escort the [[Fifth Mizukage]] to the Five Kage Summit, called for by the [[Fourth Raikage]]. There he scolds Chōjūrō for his indecisiveness. After travelling for some time, the small group stopped at an inn to eat and rest. After being told that the Fourth Mizukage's teachings are to be forgotten, by both the Fifth Mizukage and Chōjūrō, he yells at the latter for not being able to make up his mind as to what to order for dinner and sends him to get food. [[File:Bodyguards on the offensive.png|thumb|left|The Kage's bodyguards on the offensive.]] After arriving at the summit in the Land of Iron, Ao sits behind the Kiri curtain listening as the Kage have their meeting. When the Fourth Raikage crushes the table in a fit of anger, Ao, along with the other attendants, move to protect their respective Kage. The commotion ends and the attendants return to their seats. Later while the Kage are discussing the possibility of making [[Danzō]] the head of the alliance, Ao notices his chakra with his [[Byakugan]]; he then points out that Danzō confiscated his [[Sharingan]] from Shisui Uchiha, someone he'd fought in the past. Before he can prove the accusation, Zetsu appears and Ao moves to defend the Mizukage. After the Raikage seemingly kills white Zetsu, he tells Ao to watch Danzō. When Danzō states that he cannot use the mind controlling technique that many times in one day, Ao says that he is unsure if he's lying and that he can no longer trust Danzō. When [[Fū Yamanaka]] and [[Torune]] try to go and battle Sasuke, Ao tells them to stay right there as the Raikage told him to watch over them and when they get into battle position Danzō tells them to stop. He later demands that Danzō and Fū stop whispering, revealing that he's also a sensor and knows that they have been located. When Sasuke finally reaches the meeting room, Ao is the first to notice his presence. When Sasuke is attacked, Ao and Karin simultaneously notice that Danzō is attempting to escape. Ao asks permission to follow, and is told not to follow him too far. He begins his pursuit after telling the Mizukage he would leave the Akatsuki (Sasuke and his comrades) to her. Sasuke attempts to follow with Karin in tow, but is promptly stopped by the Mizukage. [[File:Ao trapped1.png|thumb|right|Ao caught in Fū's trap.]] On his way, Ao is also trapped by Zetsu's [[Spore Technique]], but he manages to get free from it; only to be suddenly trapped by Fū's [[Mind Puppet Switch Cursed Seal Technique]]. Fū, following Danzō's orders, tries to retrieve the Byakugan. However, Ao tells Fū that there is a special seal in his eyes, making it impossible for enemies to try to take his eye. As Fū decided to improvise by making Ao decapitate himself, Ao warned Fū to time it carefully as too soon would allow Ao to dodge and too late would take Fū down as well. Before the true outcome could happen, the Mizukage and Chōjūrō arrive and save Ao. Fū, still in control of Ao, tried to trick the Mizukage into removing the seal on his eye, but she saw through Fū's deception when he acted kindly to Chōjūrō's insult. The Mizukage then punches Ao in the face for calling her an old hag, unaware that Fū already ended the technique. As they are arriving back in Kirigakure, the three are informed that the [[Water Daimyō]] had approved the alliance. Ao is later relieved that former Kirigakure shinobi [[Kisame Hoshigaki]] had fallen to the hands of [[Killer B]], not having to worry about any future conflicts. As a sign of good luck, he insists that once they settle down that he treat Chōjūrō to a meal before the upcoming war. When he is rejected, he chides him for his dislike of oily foods and to keep it up if he wanted to "fail at the crucial moment". He is later seen ordering Kirigakure shinobi to gather all ninja [[tools]] currently available to them in preparation for the war. === Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown === Ao later escorted Mei to a meeting of the leaders of the Allied Shinobi Forces. He was also seen at the alliance's headquarters making preparations along with the other shinobi. === Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation === [[File:Sensor division.png|thumb|left|Ao leading the Sensor Division.]] Ao was appointed captain of the [[Sensor Division]] of the Allied Shinobi Forces. When he met with his division, he told a perturbed [[C]] who was participating in war for the first time in his life, that a great deal depended on how well they did their job as they were the eyes of the Alliance. [[File:Sensing System Barrier erection.png|thumb|right|Inoichi and Ao creating the Sensing Barrier.]] Ao later assisted [[Inoichi Yamanaka]] in creating the [[Sensing Barrier|barrier]] which the Sensor Division would be using. When the war officially breaks out, he notes that if it had not been for [[Muta Aburame]]'s information they would have had no idea that the enemy were travelling underground. He then tells his division members to shift the barrier downwards to pick up on the enemy's exact location. Upon hearing of the large amount of enemy forces heading towards the [[First Division]], Ao uses his sensory abilities to hone in on the revived shinobi on the battlefield while the others maintaining the barrier focused on the large scale sensing. Ao discovered that they were many reincarnated shinobi amongst the troop all of which were infamously strong during their lifetimes.<ref name="C525" /> He then reports that there are two persons on the battlefield with immense chakra reserves tinged with the chakra of the [[Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]].<ref>Chapter 525, page 10</ref> They were later identified as Kumogakure's [[Gold and Silver Brothers]]. Later after the [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]] is summoned to the battlefield, Ao senses it and identifies it as a "gargantuan mass of chakra". He wonders to himself what they were up against. As night falls and the Alliance is thrown into turmoil from the reports of spies who had entered their ranks and were murdering the shinobi forces, Shikaku surmises that the enemy might be using some sort of illusion on the shinobi to cause them to act this way, Ao states that [[Itachi]] was the only person with the kind of prowess to even take control of someone outside the range of their sensors, but also states that even for him it'd be impossible to be controlling so many persons at once. He then looks to Shikaku for orders telling them that if they didn't come up with something they'd end up having their own shinobi killing each other. === Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax === Though after hearing the progress of the battles from Inoichi leads to some celebration. Ao cuts it short after detecting a new presence on the battlefield near [[Gaara]]'s division. After a tremor is felt at headquarters, Ao reports that a huge number of shinobi from the Fourth Division had been killed all at once. Reporting on the battle between [[Tobi]], [[Naruto]] and [[B]], Ao tells headquarters that B had seemingly transformed into his full Eight-Tails form but was still being pressured. As the Nine-Tails' chakra is released, Ao and the other sensors manning the barrier comment on the sheer power. Thinking to himself, he states that it felt somewhat different because there was something else that he could feel. He then reports to Shikaku the situation on the battlefield, telling him that the four men there were actually beating the "''[[masked Madara]]''". Later, when the Sensing Water Sphere in HQ became distorted, Ao hastily followed through with Shikaku's order to check out the situation. In shock of the still-displaced [[Sensing Water Sphere]], he alerts everyone in [[HQ]] to the fact that the [[Ten-Tails]] had changed its form another time, and then wondered why the beast was firing off [[Tailed Beast Ball]]s in far-off directions. Realising the direction of the fourth attack, Ao confirmed Shikaku's suspicions that the attack was headed towards the HQ. With this, Ao and the others resolved to perform the duties they were assigned until the end, and were able to relay one last strategy before the attack reached HQ, destroying the building and killing everyone including Ao. == In Other Media == === Video Games === In ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations]]'', ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3]]'' and ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution]]'', Ao is a support-only character. == Creation and Conception == When designing Ao, [[Kishimoto]] wanted to create a character with an air of severity and masculinity while still seeming tranquil. His eye-patch is supposed to convey masculine trendiness, and his haori is to serve a dual purpose in that it should convey his quiet and mature personality while the sleeves were to signify that Ao was not a close-range fighter. Kishimoto also noted that he deliberately made Ao's attire similar to [[Haku]]'s and was even going to go as far as to have him wear a mask, but ultimately decided against it. == Trivia == * {{translation|[[Wikipedia:Ao (colour)|Ao]]|青}} means "blue" or "green". * There seems to be a running gag of when Ao scolds [[Chōjūrō]], Mei always mishears it as something offensive towards her love life, such as "arrangements" for "engagements", "manage" for "marriage", and "call you ambitious" for "called off", and threatens to kill Ao if he doesn't shut up, much to his confusion. * Ao killed a member of the [[Hyūga clan]] to obtain his Byakugan eye, but it is unknown whether he killed a Main or Branch House member. It is however likely that he killed a member of the Main House or he removed the eye of a Branch member while his opponent was still alive; whether the [[Hyūga Main Family's Juinjutsu|Hyūga seal]] prevents this is unknown. == References == <references /> [[de:Ao]] [[ru:Ао]] [[pt-br:Ao]] Templates used on the current version of this page: Template:!

In the first part of our post, we discussed the pros and cons of the so-called "robo-advisor" that many are predicting as the future of financial advice. In today's post, we'll continue with my argument as to why that's too simplistic.
Behavioral problems are one thing uniquely suited to human-to-human interaction, as we seem to be hard-wired to feel more accountable to other human beings than we do to a computer. It's easy to just stop opening the statements showing your account balance or to stop logging into the website that shows you how badly your investments are doing; it's a lot harder to blow off an established personal relationship with a human advisor serving as your accountability partner.
In fact, for years many advisors have suggested that their primary benefit is not designing quality portfolios, but helping clients stick with their portfolios and deal with the so-called "behavior gap," the difference between the returns the investment markets deliver, and the returns investors actually earn after accounting for their potentially poorly timed decisions.
While it's not clear how large the behavior gap is for all investors in the aggregate—although DALBAR has tried to measure the phenomenon for years, its results are highly sensitive to the point of comparison—it's nonetheless clear that there is certainly at least some subset of investors who experience the problem. For those investors, who arguably are the ones who need the most help, and are most likely to seek out a human or robo-advisor for assistance, it's just not clear whether a robo-advisor is enough. Can that advisor talk them off the ledge while they're in the midst of panicking from a market decline, when there are no human beings to talk to at all? (I should point out that to their credit, several of the robo-advisors have now hired behaviorists to at least try to tackle the problem).
Similarly, it's not clear whether robo-advisors will be able to keep investors from just chasing returns in a bull market. It's also unclear whether the entire growth of robo-advisors in the first place is just investors chasing appealing short-term returns, as all of the robo-advisors have been established since the financial crisis and none has ever navigated a single bear market!.
Notwithstanding the importance of having human beings to engage other human beings in their behaviorally driven financial problems—in addition to the other wide range of tax, estate, insurance, retirement, and additional topics that comprehensive financial planners address—the reality is that while purely robot-driven solutions may not drive enough behavior change, purely human-driven solutions can be remarkably inefficient. That inefficiency leads to higher costs for consumers and makes financial advice unaffordable for many. While there are some things that humans do far better than computers, there are also many things that computers do far more efficiently than humans.
This is one of the reasons why technology has been on the rise with advisors in their own firms as well. In fact, the aforementioned list of robo-advisor investment value-adds are not unique; most rebalancing software packages used by advisors, from iRebal to Tamarac to TRX, are capable of implementing some or all of this, from good asset location decisions to timely rebalancing to tax loss harvesting. Good advisors have actually been leveraging dedicated software and technology to provide all of these features for nearly a decade since the first rebalancing tools came out, and long before the robo-advisors appeared on the scene. At best, the robo-advisors have simply repackaged (and perhaps done a better job at marketing and communicating) what the best human advisor firms already do (but without the rest of the financial planning advice).
On the other hand, this kind of technology adoption thus far has been a best practice, not a standard practice. Not all advisors have embraced and implemented technology, as the latest technology survey from Financial Planning magazine revealed that nearly 70% of advisors still have not adopted rebalancing software in their practices. The distinction is starting to matter, as a recent Fidelity industry study found that the practices of younger Gen X and Gen Y advisors are starting to outperform more established baby boomer advisory firms, largely as a result of their better, smarter tech use.
As time passes, it's becoming increasingly clear that the threat to human advisors is not technology and robots, but technology-augmented humans, bringing together the crucial relationship aspects of working with a human being with the scaled benefits of leveraging technology. This represents both the cutting edge of what many technology-focused advisors are doing now (as supposed by the Fidelity study), as well as recent venture-capital-funded startups like Personal Capital and LearnVest that pair technology and an online platform with real human financial planners.
In fact, as I've written in the past, heavily-technology-augmented human advisors in a model like LearnVest may be a glimpse of how financial planning to the masses will be delivered in the future.
The bottom line, though, is simply this: in a competition between human advisors and robo-advisors, the real winner may be the technology-augmented human, which I am hereby dubbing the "cyborg" advisor: part human, part technology, integrated together to allow each part to do what it does best for the most efficient, most comprehensive, and most behaviorally accountable client solution.

In all the clatter over pinot noir, the Grape of the Moment, it's easy to forget that the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation also grows some really good cabernet sauvignon and related red Bordeaux grapes. One of California's best cabs, Ridge Monte Bello, comes from a site above Cupertino, and a number of other wineries have had success with the grape, albeit often in tiny quantities.
Some of the appellation's earliest recognition, in the late 1800s, actually was based on cabernet sauvignon. By 1889, more than 100 acres of cabernet and other Bordeaux varieties were planted in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and some of the wines received international acclaim. The high quality of cabernet is a prime reason that the section of the mountains running from Woodside to the Lexington area near Los Gatos became known as the "Chaine d'Or," or golden chain.
Today, according to the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, about 1,500 acres of grapes are planted in the appellation, with cabernet accounting for about a quarter of that acreage.
The quality of Santa Cruz Mountains cabernet was driven home for me recently when I participated in the winegrowers association's Santa Cruz Mountains Professional Wine Tasting, a successor of sorts to the appellation's annual wine competition. Based on wines I tasted during the formal tasting, a later public tasting and wines I have sampled blind at home, I thought it was time to revisit cabernet and its Bordeaux-style cousins from the region. Some mountain wineries produce Bordeaux-style reds from grapes grown outside the area; I'm focusing here on the local bottles.
Fewer than half of the association's 74 member wineries were represented at the professional tasting, so it was by no means comprehensive. Ridge's exemplary cabs weren't there, nor were those produced by Mount Eden Vineyards. However, I tasted the savory, elegant 2010 Kathryn Kennedy Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ($125) from Saratoga; the tighter, more structured 2009 also was there.
In general, Santa Cruz Mountains cabs and cab blends are not opulent fruit bombs; rather, they have elegance, balance and layers of flavors, supported by lively acidity. Not every area of the appellation is warm and sunny enough to successfully ripen cabernet, but you'll find the grape in warmer pockets, including slopes that face the Santa Clara Valley and the area near Lexington Reservoir.
The Ridge Monte Bello is generally considered the pinnacle of Santa Cruz Mountains cab. The 2010 ($160) is a blend with 74 percent cabernet sauvignon, and it's a stunner: dense and lively, with black currant fruit, a hint of earthiness and firm but approachable tannins. For considerably less money, the 2010 Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ($45) is sort of a baby Monte Bello, with bright cherry, notes of olive and sage and fine tannins.
Kings Mountain Vineyards is up the peninsula, in Woodside, and it produced a nicely balanced 2008 Meritage ($60) that offers ripe yet lively black fruit, good concentration and approachable tannins. The 2008 Clos Tita Gironde ($28), another blend, is also quite elegant, with plenty of red fruit and a long finish.
The 2009 Black Ridge San Andreas Red ($49), a cab blend from a vineyard near Lexington Reservoir, offers spicy black fruit, good concentration and a fairly tannic, drying finish. The same spot is a vineyard source for the 2010 Testarossa Meritage ($50), which is fairly tight and tannic but opens up to show ample spicy fruit.
Cabernet franc is another interesting mountain denizen. The variety can be tricky: Too-warm surroundings bake out its characteristic leafy character, but it can be downright vegetal when underripe. The 2010 Burrell School Pichon Vineyard Cabernet Franc ($39) avoids those pitfalls, offering spicy red fruit and firm structure. The 2010 Savannah-Chanelle Cabernet Franc ($50) has that leafy note, along with ripe cherry and a supple texture. (An aside: I took a 1986 Congress Springs Cabernet Franc from my cellar to a dinner with other judges. The wine, from the current Savannah-Chanelle site outside Saratoga, was still stunning.)

Want to taste these wines for yourself? The winegrowers association's annual Premier Cruz, which is devoted to the appellation's cabernet-based wines, will be Nov. 15. Tickets are $110; for details, go to www.scmwa.com.

Laughlin Memorial Hospital
Laughlin Memorial Hospital is committed in providing the highest quality medical services and diagnostic medical equipment for our patients.
This follows the vision Dr. C.B. Laughlin had with the founding of Laughlin Memorial Hospital in 1939. This vision was to always strive to improve upon our ability to better serve the most important people we know... our patients.
Laughlin Memorial Hospital's roots can be traced back to November 1939, when Dr. C. B. Laughlin purchased a large house on North Main Street. Dr. Laughlin then converted the building into a small hospital named Laughlin Clinic. Dr. Laughlin welcomed all physicians who wanted to practice there.
Dr. Laughlin's open staff policy philosophy contributed to the constant growth of the hospital. Additions continued throughout the 1940s and 1950s, bringing the facility's capacity up to 99 beds.
With the change, stockholders were eliminated and all profits generated by the hospital were put into hospital operations to purchase new equipment, enhance facilities and other areas that benefit the community.
In 1971, for the first time, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of hospitals surveyed Laughlin Memorial Hospital. The hospital received initial accreditation and has received Joint Commission accreditation on succeeding surveys.
In 1978, hospital officials cut the ribbon on a $3.6 million expansion project, which brought the facility's capacity up to 177 beds. Many hospital departments grew.
In 1991, a 90 bed skilled nursing facility, Laughlin Healthcare Center, was opened.
In early 1995, Laughlin officials opened the doors on a new $26 million hospital facility, which featured many medical services.
The new hospital is approximately 40% larger than the old facility. Its new services include a radiation therapy department equipped with state-of-the-art cancer treatment equipment and expanded outpatient services in the areas of physical therapy, radiology, short-stay-surgery, and emergency treatment. The new hospital also hosts 140 beds in private-room settings.
In 2001, the hospital completed a $12 million expansion program that included the new Laughlin Center for Women's Health; the hospital's Radiology, Emergency Services, Surgical Services, Pharmacy Services, Laboratory Services, Cardiopulmonary Services and Administrative Services Department were also expanded.
In July 2006, the hospital completed construction on a third Medical Office Building and the Laughlin Center for Outpatient Care. This $18 million project features an expanded same-day surgery department, outpatient laboratory, cardiopulmonary, and radiology services. Over $8 million in new medical equipment was also installed.
Laughlin also introduced, in 2006, the first cardiac catheterization laboratory in Greene County. This new department allows cardiologists to conduct invasive procedures to assess blood flow through coronary arteries and check the hearts functions.
New radiology services introduced as a part of the Center for Outpatient Care in 2006 included a new 64-slice CT (computed tomography) scanning suite which was one of only three nationwide to feature special video imagery and sound, which is selected by patients from among several "themes", to help them relax during their procedures. Other new services include a 3-tesla MRI and Tennessee's first "high field" Open MRI.

Hi there!
I'm a java newbie and i have some problems with the understanding why some code i wrote works the way it does. i'm happy if someone can help me with this. here is the code(important part):
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class JaNeinFenster extends Fenster { [...] [I]Nein.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent AE){ dispose(); } });[/I] } }
i tried different ways to close just my little yes/no window when the no-Button is clicked but nothing worked until i ended up with the dispose. my first attempt was something like AE.getWindow().dispose(); and i learned that ActionEvent doesnt support a getWindow. So i tried to combine AE.getSource().get[...] to make my way back to the JFrame where my JButton was located.
Now my question is why just the dispose() does the job and what would be necessary to do it the way i originally intended to make the construction more visible?
i hope that was understandable -_-
thanks in advance

At the Morningstar Investor Conference in 2006, one breakout session panelist noted the 40 long-short funds in existence, predicting the number would increase tenfold in the next two years.
A little over a year later, Morningstar analyst and director of personal finance Christine Benz added them to her list of trendy funds to avoid.
"It's a stretch to call long-short funds a gimmick, but most of the new long-short funds are simply not a good value proposition," she wrote at the time. "When you consider that the average long-short fund launched over the past year has an expense ratio of more than 2%, it's hard to see how anyone would be better off in a long-short offering than in a plain-vanilla bond fund. The case for long-short funds is even weaker for investors' taxable assets, because the strategies tend to be tax-inefficient."
Long-short funds hold positions in both long and short investments. Some are market neutral, meaning they have an equal weight on both sides, and some tilt one way or the other depending on perceived market opportunities.
As the financial crisis worsened, so too did the prospect of long-short funds achieving their promised returns. Chalk it up to another investment product that failed its hype when the bubble burst. Like so many other products, they severely disappointed investors when it all went bad, threatening the very idea of employing hedging strategies in mutual funds as a whole.
Yet make the argument to Mike Buckius and he'll take it head on.
"Well, I agree," says Buckius, portfolio manager of Gateway Fund (GATEX). "There have certainly been a lot of long-short products that have come out over the last few years, and they've performed all over the mark."
But, as he's quick to note, while Gateway technically resides in the long-short category, it's different in that he and his co-managers aren't stock pickers. They're not trying to pick good ideas and short bad ideas and earn return along way.
"We're using broader options markets and market volatility to generate cash flow and reduce risk," he explains. "We're akin to a long-short fund in terms of goals, which are steady return and reliable performance with reduced levels of risk, but we're coming at it from a wholly different direction than most long-short funds."
And it's working. Despite Benz's previous analysis of the space overall, Gateway is a Morningstar Analysts' pick in the long-short category, partly because of its long track record. Over 20 years, Gateway has delivered average annual returns of 7.5%. Sure, the S&P 500 has returned 9.5% annually over the same period, but Buckius and his co-managers have done it with 40% less risk. And over the past 10 years, the fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index. Analysts rate it as the most tax-efficient fund among the lowest cost funds in its category.
Investors have taken notice: With $5.3 billion in assets currently, the fund has quadrupled in size over the past decade.
A fund of that size isn't one that typically rates as "overlooked," but it's largely flown under the radar. Is it a deliberate strategy?
"It's not deliberate," he says. "We've spent decades trying to be experts at this particular niche in the market. As markets have gotten more developed and as investors have gotten more information, they're able to look at different choices on the risk spectrum, and we've been getting a lot more notice. They're looking for something that's addressing a particular need in a portfolio that stocks, bonds and cash might not deliver."
Buckius has been with Gateway Investment Advisers since 1999, one member of a three person management team. Before joining the Cincinnati-based firm, he worked in investment banking in New York and Baltimore on the options trading desk (hence the strategy). He's got his CFA and an MBA from Loyola University. Even though he's been with his current firm for 12 years, he's still considered "the new guy," an indication of the strong tenure and track record Gateway enjoys.
When asked what sets them apart, Buckius gets very specific.
"What we do is straightforward and consistently applied. We buy a portfolio of stocks that tracks the S&P 500 index. Rather than speculating on the market, we use that portfolio to build a risk management strategy that actively dials down the risk of that stock portfolio. To do that we use S&P 500 index options to generate cash flow and reduce volatility. We also use a portion of that cash flow to buy downside protection in the form of index put options. The combination of those three gives us an attractive risk profile and balances risk and return at a sensible level."
Buckius repeats the "win by not losing" mantra, something high in demand from clients worried first and foremost about protecting the assets they have.
"The stock market is where growth is over the long term; unfortunately, it tends to be a pretty big roller coaster ride to get where you need to be with equity investing," he says. "We focus on trying to get the benefits of investing in equities that grow in place of protection, but doing so with a lot less risk. We think solid, positive returns when markets are good are important, but we think it's just as important to avoid those large losses that, unfortunately, seem to be happening with increased frequency."
A standard question asked of all overlooked managers is where they're finding alpha and good deals—the areas that really excite them. To this, Buckius throws a curve.
"We focus on a lot of different areas, but individual stocks or even the direction of the market isn't one of them," he says. "The bread and butter of our focus are on volatility. Market volatility is the sentiment that gets priced into the market. So it incorporates the big macro picture, what's going on with the Fed, what's going on in Europe, what's going on with individual company earnings and also how people feel about that going forward. It's certainly a sentiment type of an indicator, but it translates into the options market in a very real, very measurable and quantifiable way."
To put it in lay terms, volatility is good, something of which they look for and take advantage. It's a story that works well given the current economic and political environment. And, speaking of the latter, Buckius (like any good manager) is keeping a sharp eye.
"This is an interesting period in the market," he says with obvious understatement. "There's certainly a lot of fear out there; justifiably so. Are we entering a recession? What's left for the Fed to try? Then there's the big question mark of what's going on in Europe. The VIX index (which is really the fear index) was well above 30 for a significant period. The flip side of that is that it seems that there's cause for optimism, rightly or wrongly. It seems as though there's a lot that central banks around the world are going to do in terms of some coordinated action to address the markets, liquidity, credit increases. As I said, we're at an interesting inflection point. We're very comfortable being a little more conservative, a little bit more hedged, which fits with our strategy overall. There's always going to be something to worry about."

Illuminance Calculator
Some manufacturers specify the illuminance in lux (lx) of their underwater lamps, but tell nothing about the boundary conditions, for which the specified light intensity is reached. A high illuminance is reached even with a small light flux of the light source in combination with small opening angles of the optics which focus the emitted light on a small area and short distances betweem light source and illuminated area.
The calculator below establishes the relationship between light flux and expected illuminance at a given geometry and optics. It should be added that in the calculation, according to "keep it simple", some simplifications have been made. In particular, a non uniform distribution of light on the illuminated area was not considered. Furthermore it is assumed that the entire area is completely flat and the illuminated area is a circle with a sharp border between illuminated and not illuminated areas, which does not occur for various reasons in practice. Therefore, the Note: the results of calculation may differ from the actual situation in practice. They are "useful approximations" with an expected error of less than 10% usually.
One question is still unanswered: Which illumination is needed? Some typicall values (more here):
- cloudy summerday: 20.000lx
- cloudy winterday: 3.500lx
- illumination TV-studio: 1.000lx
- office: 500lx
- good Illumination for video- and digitalcam: 100lx
- night of a full moon: 0,25lx

Background - Recent History and Why We are Using Program Prioritization (PP-PAR)
The campus community has requested program prioritization for more than a decade. For example, there were periodic informal discussions about the need for this type of process during the administration of Chancellor Anne Lydecker. Subsequently, during the beginning stage of Reach for the Future in 2006, as that strategic planning process was labeled, there were meetings in the River Falls Public Library that included faculty, staff, and administrators; the item that received the most support, by far, was prioritization. Since then the university community has worked collaboratively to utilize program prioritization. In 2008-09 the Faculty Senate and Chancellor Connie Foster approved a prioritization process that was used to collect data, to provide evaluations of programs, and to rank them. The conclusion reached after implementing the effort reads, in part, "Faculty Senate accepts the current program prioritization process as an appropriate and useful exercise that should be seen through to conclusion. . . . Faculty Senate recommends that program prioritization, upon revision, become an ongoing initiative . . ."
During 2010-2013 the program prioritization process was reviewed by the Academic Program and Policy Committee, an ad hoc Committee on Program Prioritization, the Faculty Senate, and the Administration. Input from the university community was critical to the collaborative development of the revised plan, and Faculty Senate approved the new program prioritization processes on three separate occasions (May 2, 2012, December 12, 2012, and May 8, 2013), with strong support from Chancellor Dean Van Galen. The Faculty Senate vote on May 8, 2013 showed 22 votes in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstentions, and these votes initiated a "trial year" designed to test the process.
After conducting the first "trial year" of program prioritization some modifications of the process were approved by the Faculty Senate on February 5, 2014 by a vote of 18 in favor, 1 opposed, and 2 abstentions.
